Fairfield man shot in face during Friday night fight

FAIRFIELD -- A 29-year-old man was shot in the face Friday night after a fight broke out between two groups of Fairfield teenagers, police said.

The scuffle erupted at about 5 p.m. among the local juveniles, with gunshots cutting across the 1200 block of Van Buren Street, police said.

The victim was shot at least once in the face and was driven by a family member to a local hospital. He was transferred to a Sacramento area trauma center, where police said he is listed in stable condition.

Responding police officers located witnesses and physical evidence at the scene that indicated that two groups of juveniles were fighting in the street when someone opened fire, police said.

Two local juveniles were arrested and booked into juvenile hall early Saturday on suspicion of conspiracy and attempted murder based on what police said is their alleged involvement in the shooting.

Police continue the search for two additional suspects and ask anyone with information about the shooting to contact Solano County Crime Stoppers at (707) 648-STOP.
